Britain’s top black police officer: ‘We are struggling to cope with immigrant crime wave’
Britain’s highest ranking black policeman has warned the Home Secretary his force is struggling to cope with an immigrant crimewave.
Kent chief constable Mike Fuller told Jacqui Smith “migration surges” had contributed to an increase of more than a third in violent crime over five years to 7,800 incidents in 2007.
In a leaked letter, he said the Government’s failure to increase his budget to match the population rise will have a “negative impact on performance”.
He says migration accounts for 78 per cent of Kent’s population growth and warned of the soaring cost of translation services, up by a third in three years.
Mr Fuller, whose force polices ferry ports and the Channel tunnel, says he will need an extra 560 constables if the immigrant population continues to surge. He says Kent’s population is expected to rise from 1.6million now to 1.9million by 2029 - mostly from immigration.
